Part
3 - Too kind
Indeed,
the way he acted at a press conference with Putin in Helsinki was not
only supposedly an unheard-of humiliation (just think of it – he
didn't behave as Putin's master!), and some of his statements could
even be considered outright acts of treason, we heard.
Rumours
reappeared of how Trump acts as Putin's puppet because his Russian
counterpart must have some hold over him (the infamous alleged photos
of prostitutes urinating in Moscow?), and parts of the US
establishment. Democrats and some Republicans, began to consider a
quick impeachment, even if we get Mike Pence as his replacement.
Overall,
the conclusion was simply that the President of the US is no longer
the leader of the free world: but was the President of the US really
ever such a leader? Here our counter-attack should begin.
Let us
first note that the overall confusion of Trump's statements contains
some truths here and there: wasn't he in some sense right when he
said that it is in our interest to have good relations with Russia
and China to prevent war? Wasn't he partially correct to present his
tariff war also as a protection of the interests of the US workers?
The fact
is that the existing order of international trade and finances is far
from equitable, and that the European establishment hurt by Trump's
measures should also look at its own sins. Did we already forget how
the existing financial and trade rules that privilege the strong
European states, especially Germany, brought devastation to Greece?
